Half the time it works for me (Android talking to apples), and the other half of the time the encryption, reactions, etc just don’t work. It’s frustrating.

Thank you for adding more context.

TL;DR it looks like bootlickers brigade reporting posts and comments causing them to be flagged by the AutoModerator. Mods have changed some settings and claim it will be better. I do see several pro-immigrant-worker posts at the top now.

Got it, thanks. I could imagine that certain software could just exit if it detects it’s not on the host OS.

I can’t see how it would. Can a VM tell it’s a VM?

Ross Dress For Less is a clothing store. Similar to Marshalls or TJ Max.

that looks cool. Thank you for pointing it out!

That’s cool as heck.

It was an amazing resource. For them just to nuke it completely was very frustrating.

What language(s)? Lots of good free resources.

LanguageTransfer.org looks good but I haven’t tried it myself.

One of the languages I am learning is an endangered native language, and it was super helpful to see knowledgeable people in the comments.

Yeah, I saw that. I have the family plan (some people in the house go through a lot of hearts (mistakes)) and still have to see ads for Max.

I was so upset last year when they got rid of the comment section. There were often helpful explanations for WHY you conjugate the word that way, or how native speakers might use a different word.

Think you have a typo there. Should say “by” roomba right? That’s what I heard.

46k trucks sold so far. For comparison, rivian sells about that many of their trucks every year.

I am sticking to one house to limit how many batteries and chargers I need to worry about. Ryobi has had the same battery format for like 20 years, so I’m less worried about obsolescence.

Personal Protective Equipment is super important for many activities and are neglected far too often.

There sure is. Peace of Blake be with you!

I really appreciate a lack of ansible tech. Having to account for the speed of light in communication makes for better story telling, IMHO

My favorite examples of limited communication speed are the Lost Fleet books by John G. Hemry writing as Jack Campbell, and the Battletech franchise.

In the Lost Fleet, they are limited to realistic communications. When they jump into a star system, they gather Intel but it’s often pointed out that what their telescopes see and radios hear is X hours old based on the distance. There’s a lot of talk in battles about predicting where something will be at a certain time or trying to device the enemy by pulling fake maneuvers. When they want to communicate back home, they need to send picket ships to carry the message.

In Battletech, there is a common method of FTL communication between worlds, but not at smaller scales. When the writers remember it, we hear about the same kind of delays in Intel as in the Lost Fleet. The FTL comms are monitored by a sometimes hostile polity, so top secret stuff will be communicated by spacecraft pony express, and there have been some attempts to come up with other comm methods.

Thank you for posting this, it’s convincing.
